In Silico Designing of Mg12O12 Nanoclusters with a Late Transition Metal for NO2 Adsorption: An Efficient Approach toward the Development of NO2 Sensing Materials.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Gas sensors are widely used for detection of environmental pollution caused by various environmental factors such as road traffic and combustion of fossil fuels. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is one of the leading pollutants of the present age, which causes a number of serious health issues including acute bronchitis, cough, and phlegm, particularly in children. Nowadays, researchers are focused on designing new sensor materials for detection and removal of NO2 from the environment. In this line, we have made an attempt to design NO2 sensing materials by using theoretical techniques. Here, we have reported decoration of Mg12O12 nanoclusters with a late transition metal (Cu) by employing density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)
